In this innovative study, Harry Munt explores this understudied phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExamining primary sources in both Arabic and Persian, Munt argues that local history-writing must be situated within its appropriate historical contexts to explain why it was such a popular way of thinking about the past, more popular than most other contemporary forms of history-writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe period until the end of the eleventh century CE saw many significant developments in ideas about community, about elite groups, and about social authority.
